Britain's What's On Event Guide
Harvest-Time Herbals: Entering Autumn with Medicinal Stores for The Da
About the event:
We will spend a weekend drawing in from the land, preparing harvests of the summer season into healing medicines for the cold times. Learn about specific herbal techniques including tincture making, syrups, elixirs, vinegars and electuaries, specific for the respiratory, circulatory and immune systems as the energy shifts.
Meet the plants of the autumn that support our health at this time, and gather knowledge about how to bring them into your daily life for greater winter wellbeing.
About the facilitator:
Rasheeqa Ahmad (Hedge Herbs) is a medical herbalist in her community in Walthamstow in north London. She has been practicing since 2012, offering treatment with herbal medicine and teaching about its many aspects, alongside a wider mix of work whose aim is reconnecting us as communities with the potential of this knowledge and craft as a way to support healthier living systems and relationships. She is inspired by her early involvement with the Radical Herbalism Gathering in exploring how to make plant medicine accessible and restore balance to its practice in the contexts of systemic inequalities and oppressions that are part of our shared histories.
Rasheeqa is part of Community Apothecary Waltham Forest in her locality, a social enterprise that brings community members together around a patchwork of medicinal herb gardens where they can learn about growing and making medicines together, exchanging knowledge and peer support and seeding the model in other neighbourhoods so that we create landscapes of healing everywhere.
